While I am not done with the New York City posts yet I just had to post these photos of a rooster I saw on the back roads of Norridgewock, ME this weekend. My sister-in-law, Rita, and I went out birding together on Saturday. Little did we know that this rooster would be one of the best shots of the day. I have no idea what breed it is but we cracked up at those puffy bloomers! This domestic bird made me smile. I hope it does the same for you!
Not your typical birding, but certainly a beauty.
ReplyDeleteGaelyn, you know me... a bird is a bird but I do prefer the wild ones. I love chickens though but do not want to have to take care of them or any other caged bird!
DeleteWow, what a cool looking rooster. He looks like a real show off too. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteWow! A show-stopper! Gorgeous shots, Kathie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilke!
DeleteWhat handsome guys these are!
ReplyDeleteI thought so and the hens following him around seemed to think so too!
DeleteHi Kathie
ReplyDeleteWow, what wonderful photos. A very impressive fellow.
Thanks for sharing him.

You are welcome!
DeletePhew! That's impressive. Maybe it's all just fluff but man, those would make some meaty drumsticks...
ReplyDeleteLaurence, I agree!
DeleteWas this a bad hair day or is he wearing his 'elephant costume to the fancy dress ball'. What a job preening and remembering which feather goes which way!
ReplyDeleteArija, he was so huge and amazing I just had to take his picture!
DeleteOh, he is quite the fancy pants! I love him! And it almost looks like he has long eyelashes too! What a great rooster!
ReplyDeleteGlad your Mom is doing well! I know she was glad to have you there.
